Disgraced former R&B singer R. Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for leading a decades-long sex trafficking operation. He appeared in a New York City court Wednesday, where survivors of his abuse gave emotional accounts of their pain and suffering. National correspondent Jericka Duncan spoke with two of those survivors and reports on both the sentencing and its impact.

Sheesh 3 years? He’s done 👎🏼
30 years?
Sex trafficking, racketeering, and paedophillia are very serious crimes.
He should be given LIFE!
Or worse, THE DEATH PENALTY BY HANGING!
Mr. Kelly is about to find out there can be A LOT wrong with a little "Bump N' Grind" where he's going…
Bye Kelly. Good job courts
Free r Kelly
R. Kelly is a very SICK man…..I stopped listening 2 his music 🎶 over 15 years ago. It started 2 make me sick. 🤮 I commend all of these women 4 coming forward. Stay strong.

The Judge heard "30 years of my career!!!" and thought yeah that's about right.
What is even more scary are the people who support this man!! We can no longer protect the predators; regardless of how talented, popular, anointed, or famous they maybe!! R. Kelly, like many monsters like him, must be held accountable!! That being said, even Satan can come in the form of angelic light. Meaning, you cannot allow our favorite personalities- famous or otherwise, cause us to go blind by their sadistic and demagogue behaviors!! Right is right and wrong is wrong. Support what is right and hold accountable what is wrong.
Wow
30 years is Crazy 😨
FATHER GOD PLEASE HELP R. KELLY GET BACK IN HIS RIGHT MIND PLEASE GIVE HIM HEALING IN MIND FROM A SICKNESS HE HAS WITH CHILDREN KEEP HIM FROM GOING BACK TO AND FROM HIS OLD WAYS, PLEASE HELP HIM TO FULLY REPENT AND COME TO THE LORD FATHER GOD, HELP HIM TO ADMIT WHAT HE DONE WRONG AND ACCEPT THE FACT THAT HE DID IT JUST REBUKE THE DEVIL OUT OF HIM IN THE NAME OF JESUS LORD THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR HIM JUST HELP SET HIM FREE FROM HIS SEXUAL SINS FATHER GOD IN THE MIGHTY NAAAAMMMME OF JESUS CHRIST WE PRAY AMEN!!!!!!!!!!
Stop the nonsense. The parents should be locked up to. R Kelly wouldn’t have seen any of those children if it wasn’t for the parents. My children is with me. Let them be gone for more than 30 minutes and I don’t no their whereabouts then we have a problem.
We've just witnessed the modern day railroading of a black celebrity
It took a documentary to do something law enforcement wouldn't.
It only took 20 years later
At least he’s still alive can easily repent from his sins to save his soul.
From bumping and grinding to slamming doors.
Ms. Cunningham wasn't just a victim she got trained to become a willing participant and recruit of young women at those infamous Chicago McDonald's smh they all should be locked up. He should had been banned from all McDonald's food chains across America. He should had went to Asia somewhere overseas where he can legally have as many young wives as he want in Africa somewhere but doing that stuff here in America just because you have power and fame and money won't fly.
Free R Kelly. Them females was chasing fame
Loser female fighting back. Playing victim
Justice is served
That is one sick dude.
When Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew will be treated the same? I mean Ghislaine Maxwell proved it and they hung Jeffrey Epstein.. Just a question….

So sad, he shouldn't have done evil- do good, avoid evil, always; and his song 'I Believe I Can Fly' is a great song.
Plus, there could be more decades coz' there are still 3 charges- so sad. Be good to people w/ bestfriend Almighty God, always.
God bless, Rev. 21:$
Biden was put into office because he was is easy to control. The left had other options for the office. But they needed someone to take the fall for something they where going to do anyway and that is destroy the dollar. Congress should be cast in prison for there corruption, they are easily moved by there own interests and they work together when it is, only blocking horrible laws when they see a check stapled to it. Thw government knows what it is doing when it gives out money like no tomorrow, and when congress don't work to protect the people from such dangerous decisions that will ruin America but are able to come together to in situations that benefit the left, it is obvious that the Elite control all branches of the government. It's time to BLACK ROCK LET IT BURN..
What has happened to the two young girls who were living with R. Kelly? Gayle King interviewed them when she interviewed R. Kelly.
He should not have gotten that much time smh
Great musician composer rapper and so creepy guy
"It seems like a closing of a chapter of his career……"
This is the problem when you so desperately want to seem part of the conversation that you just open your mouth, and Sense be damned.
As someone who has joined the industry, I definitely feel this is true. He used money and came and abused his power but unfortunately he’s not the only one
Was he set up?
And it only took 30 years to get get here lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅
R kelly get more years. And Jorge. Killer get less . What u ppl think America is good to black ppl. ⚫️
Hehehe 🤣 😂 😅 you fly now in the jail. Hehehe 🤣 😅 😅
I remember this here in about this since my teenage years finally got what he deserved
I’ll do some voluntary prison time if you throw him in my pod with me!
Omg
Sad.. Dude messed his life up. Arguably the best male singer ever. Hes a mixture of Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke. He's 55. The way black people age he could have performed another 10 years before he even got a wrinkle on his face.
i hope she didn't regret interviewing that pile of puked 0:01
The guy was used in p3do jokes globally for decades but only now gets convicted and only now people are shocked
SMH
Bury that garbage!
I still can't believe R.Kelly is in prison.
Free Kelly
Womens scorn. Watch out
They need to stop with the Lies and Foolery. They Willie Lynched this Man just because he sued RCA and Sony for billions of dollars they owed him. Fake News to the Core and throw your TeLIEvisions out people.
All the Reason Moor why America is in a Decline. Never Make a Deal with Satan. This is the Time of Righteousness. Truth is Power.
Peace and Love💚🇦🇱
GOD bless🙏🏾❤️
